Fire Risk Assessment

In 2006, the RRO (Regulatory Reform Order) for fire safety made it a legal responsibility for businesses to have a fire risk assessment. The order is designed to provide a minimum fire safety standard in all non-domestic premises.

The order states that in order to maintain fire safety standards a company must appoint a Responsible Individual (RI). In circumstances whereby the company has multiple locations or departments there may be a requirement for several RI’s but there will always be one person with overall responsibility for maintaining fire safety procedures.

The RI, or person(s) acting on their behalf, are required to carry out certain fire safety duties which include ensuring the general fire precautions are satisfactory and conducting a fire risk assessment. If more than five persons are employed it has to be a written assessment.

If you employ 5 people or more, you are required by law to have a written fire risk assessment for your business. This should be carried out by a competent person who can ensure that all legislation requirements are fulfilled.

Failure to comply with these laws could result in the prosecution of whoever is appointed to handle fire safety in your business.

Reducing risk. This can be achieved by removal or separation; and by putting measures in place to encourage a culture of risk prevention.

Evaluating the level of risk (either low, medium or high).

Deciding if the current systems are adequate. This includes fire detection, fire alarms, escape routes, signage and fire fighting equipment e.g. extinguishers.
